I know, these are original files - my interest was in why I could open them OK and jpg87 couldn't?
I am using Link branch and Assembly3
you can also download ... and try it here
excellent Assembly3 tutorials here

don't be too sure, it could be that there's some error in the full path too.

I ask here instead of straight starting a feature request on GitHub because I don't want to create extra noise on the github is I can avoid it, but for interoperability with people that don't have Assembly3 installed, is there any kind of "Assembly3 Downgrade"/"Assembly3 Explode" tool to turn an Assembly3 Assembly in just a regular FreeCAD collection of Parts, Bodies and shapes? Ideally it should work recursively, to go into sub-assemblies and downgrade/explode those too.

I obviously don't expect them to remain constrained by the constraints, just left in place. Assemblies (freecad.asm3.assembly.Assembly objects) could be replaced with App::PART containers, to keep the hierarchy and Placement properties intact.

There's probably a way of doing that with a macro

After unsuccessful efforts, I deleted the "...Roaming/FreeCAD" folder and restarted FreeCAD

Code: Select all

OS : Windows 10 Version 2009
Word size of FreeCAD : 64-bit
Version : 2022.118.30769 (Git)
Build type : Release
Branch : LinkDaily
Hash : 3b620b713e24c9637db8ea6ad1f1ee88ef13367a
Python version : 3.8.6+
Qt version : 5.15 .2
Version Coin : 4.0.1
Version OCC : 7.6.0

Now I have this message on startup (??)

I finally manage to open the assembly file, but unlike @bambuko , I don't have Elements or Constraints :

The settings file was grayed out in the list, and after activating it I saw the different settings pages appear :

After changing the number of bars to 7 and recalculating the assembly file, the 7 bars appear fine :

Looking at the contents of other files, I discovered this problem. After opening and closing the distressed sketch, it self-corrected, so I wanted to do the same for the pad. No internal error, but after validation, here is the message :
04PbPad.png
04PbPad.png (47.84 KiB) Viewed 4246 times

So I still don't have a complete set ...
Did you already install constraints that I should have found when opening the assembly, or were you stuck with the multiplication of profiled bars?

I very much doubt this
try the Assembly4 workbench for FreCAD — tutorials here and here

Please update files from github, I make some changes. In "MainAssembly" file there is 2 sub-assembly - PlateForFK12 and PlateForMotor. Both of it produce error such

Obviously, you did it like this: as in the real world, you aligned solid cylinder and hollow cylinder (AxialAlignment), then brought plane to plane into contact (PlaneAlignment).
In virtual assembly, one must anticipate the expected result:
  • either you want to create a guidance in rotation (1 DOF kept in rotation around the common axis) and in this case you can directly use the PlaneCoincident constraint (whose name does not explicitly translate its capacities if we do not know them) by cleverly choosing the Elements to use,
  • either you want to position the two components without keeping any DOF: in this case, use the Attachment constraint instead and adapt the position of one of the Elements if necessary (NB: it may be necessary to use the function "Flip element" or "Flip part").

Big advantage of this last constraint: it does not use solver resources.

If you want me to send you my files, I will put them online in the evening.

I had time to integrate the bars in the "СтанинаСборка.FCStd" assembly.
After changing the number of bars in the "ТаблицаПараметров.FCStd" file (ТаблСтанина table), you must update the assembly (F5), then recalculate in Assembly 3 to update the constraints.
